How living things interact with each other and their environment

Robert H. MacArthur, who institutionalized rigorous hypothesis testing

All the members of a single species that live together in a specified geographical area

All species in a single area

All communities & all non-living elements that interact with them

Attraction through structure, building to impress, actions

Anything an organism provides to increase the fitness of the offspring
ex: female alligators build nests, male penguins sit on eggs

A species will exhibit social behavior to the degree that such behavior aids in the survival and reproduction of individual members of that species

A power ranking that gives those of higher rank the control, ex: gorillas
-Males not always in charge
-Badge: Signal status

A diverse group of prokaryotes that play an important role in human health. Antibiotic resistance makes bacteria stronger if you don't take all your antibiotics and make the bacteria more antibiotic resistance.

Prokaryotes that live in extreme environments and may represent the earliest life forms on earth

Include protists, fungi, plants, and animals

Protists are algae found in water and on land, the red tide is large populations of dinoflagellates, which produce and algal bloom or the red tide.

Fungi are species that digest their food outside of their body by releasing enzymes into their surroundings. They are organisms that decompose. Ex: 1692 witch trials, LSD-like effects

Photosynthetic, or existence is intimately tied to their survival
